Sandown Park Race 11 - Sandowngreyhounds.com.au

UNLEASH THE LION (4) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with two wins and a placing from six tries. Was out of placings last time (25.96) at Geelong in a Grade 4/5, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths. Rates a leading player. DEWANA FERNANDO (1) turned in a plain effort last time when seventh at Geelong over 400m behind Paw Xena (22.82) in a Grade 4/5. Has ability and can atone. REMUS LUPIN (2) was out of the placings last time when sixth at The Meadows (30.61) but scored five back at Warrnambool (25.41). Has ability and a bold showing is expected. DURAN PANTERA (6) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (29.83) over 515m at this track. Drawn out wide but is worth plenty of thought.
